Centerpiece Storage

Do you ever find it difficult to store your bulky serving dishes?  It can be tough to find a spot in your full cupboards to store things like a cake platter, chips and dip platter, large serving bowl, party perfect serving dish, fruit concierge, or a clay baker.

Often these baking or serving dishes are pretty enough to put on your formal dining table as a centerpiece.  Or maybe you can put a designer clay baking dish on your kitchen countertop or even on top of your refrigerator.  You can enhance a simple bowl with some artificial (plastic or wax) pieces of fruit such as grapes, apples, and oranges.  During the holidays you can fill these bowls with items such as Christmas tree ornaments, gourds, Easter eggs; well, you get the idea.  The pretty party dish pictured here has floating candles in water.  Buy one of those fancy wax cakes to put in your glass domed cake keeper when you don't have a real cake to put in it.  Simply put some silk flowers in your empty cookie jar or in your empty wine cooler to use as a vase.

When you decorate your home with these items, your friends will never know that you simply didn't have room in your cupboards to store them.  And besides, why hide these pretty serving pieces?!!  Show them off!
